 ** CANADA. 382 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0632 UT, dash and YPL, 500 watt ND beacon at Pickle Lake ON is JBA. It`s a good night when I can hear any Canadian besides YXL on 346. See also USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR [and non]. 6050, March 21 at 0647, hymn at S8/S9, too strong for ELWA and too Spanishy. The coreligionists at ELWA and HCJB long had a nice sharing relationship, HCJB never on much past 0500 and then only on weekends, and ELWA never on until a few minutes before 0600. HCJB had already been reported running much later, but can`t find it now; rather this a bit later also March 21 from Wolfgang Büschel: ``6049.993 EQA Surprised, surprised - cross checked Spanish signal on TWR Bonaire KIWI_net signal, also at Brasília and São Paulo KIWIs. It was 100% extended time schedule ?, Voz_Andes Media Quito from Pico Pichincha txion site. S=4-5 in Bavaria-GER, at 0710 UT. Schedule published is 21 to 05 UT and 0920-1400 UT.`` Of course, in target areas, there may not be too much of a problem with HCJB after sunrise into west Africa, nor ELWA into S America. Per gaisma.com Monrovia sunrise varies little during the year between 0630 & 0700 UT, currently 0647. At longitude 10.8 west, it really ought to be in UT-1 zone instead of UT, the meridianal boundary being 7.5 west. They are on yearound DST and don`t know it, just like Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0628 UT, ND beacon GGF, 25 watts, Grant NE; 365 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0639, ND beacon AA, 100 watts at Fargo Harwood `Kenie` ND, site in MN. Several other regulars audible, but these are the more unusual ones. I have better luck above 300 kHz than below, maybe slightly lower noise level.

NRC AM Log shows only C2CAM on 660 is KEYZ, Williston ND, U4 5000/5000. Also logged Feb 16 at 0805 UT, q.v. Not precisely logged, but C2CAM on 1150 frequently has a very quick echo, close to a reverb. Main one is KSAL Salina KS, but what else? Too many others in NRC AM Log: WNDB FL, WJBO LA, KRMS MO, WIMA OH, KAGO OR, KQQQ WA, WHBY WI, CKFR BC. Most likely WJBO, 15/5 kW but U4 direxional E/W, or closest, KRMS MO, U1 840/55. It`s easy to DX C2CAM all over the dial, especially during a caller with distinctive voice, or music bit; but usually far out of synch with each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1650 kHz, March 21 at 0618 UT, continuous tone again of about 320 Hz, mainly QRMing S Asian music, which has to be CINA, Mississagua = Toronto; tone suspect KSVE El Paso TX as before. Suspect CINA U1 5000/680 be on day power as had not heard it until recently; KSVE also with weird power levels, U1 8500/850 watts. All this superior to my closer 1650s, KCNZ IA and KBJD CO, both ND = U1 1000 W at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9141-9200 approx., March 21 at 0641 UT, 59 kHz wideband multi-tone, multi-carriers beating, peaking circa 9178, S9+20, same thing as heard later at 15866-15913, q.v..
